Liebmann has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling from Concordia University Wisconsin. The 2026-2027 school year will be her third at the university. 

“I love interacting with my students and helping them think critically about the challenges they will face as counselors,” she said. “The ability and encouragement to share God's Word and His plan for human relationships is what makes working at Concordia unique and powerful. The bottom line for counselors is to speak the truth in love to our clients and families. The foundation of God's T=truth is what we need as we help others repair their hearts, minds and relationships.” 

“The ability and encouragement to share God's Word and His plan for human relationships is what makes working at Concordia unique and powerful.”
